                 regard in these words:
                      Believers, fear God, and say the straight speech. He
                      will make your conduct sound and forgive you your
                      sins.  Whoever  obeys  God and  His  Messenger  has
                      indeed achieved a great success. (33:70-71)

                 highly sincere, it makes you responsible, it makes you honest,
                 and it is these qualities that make you able to speak in a sound
                 manner. And there is no doubt about it that sound thinking has

                 addresses peoples mind, it touches the heart of men and women.
                 A sound thinker always speaks in the language of nature, and
                 nature is common to both the speaker and the listener. It is this
                 commonality that makes speaking and writing of a sound thinker
                 acceptable to all.

                 of deep contemplation; sound thinking is free of all kinds of bias
